Patek Philippe

Patek Philippe is a legendary Swiss watchmaker founded in Geneva in 1839, known for shaping the history of high-end mechanical timekeeping through innovation, craftsmanship, and enduring design. Since the Stern family acquired the company in 1932, Patek Philippe has remained one of the last major family-owned, independent Genevan manufactures, producing watches in limited quantities with an emphasis on traditional finishing and long-term value. Anchored in Geneva, the maison consolidated its manufacture and headquarters in Plan-les-Ouates in the late 20th century, reinforcing its vertical integration and “in-house” approach to watchmaking. Today, Patek Philippe is celebrated for iconic collections and for creating some of the world’s most complicated and collectible mechanical watches - an enduring symbol of precision, heritage, and quiet prestige.
